The Experience

The flight departs from Maui and climbs over the West Maui mountains, where you move through views of rainforest, coastline and beaches before crossing toward Molokai. The route then follows Molokai's remote north shore—a stretch of coastline that has no road access and can only be seen from the air. You'll pass Halawa Valley with its two large waterfalls, then soar above the sea cliffs that rise higher than any others on earth. The 1,750-foot Kahiwa Falls drops down the mountainside as the pilot narrates what you're seeing below.

You'll also fly over the resorts of Kaanapali and Kapalua, seeing how the developed west side of Maui sits against the raw landscape inland. The entire flight lasts 60 minutes. A live guide in English provides narration throughout, so you get context for what you're looking at instead of just the view. The helicopter is a shared cabin, so you're flying with up to five other passengers and the pilot—not a private charter.

Wear dark clothing to reduce window reflections and get clearer photos. No bags are allowed on board, and you'll need to arrange your own parking at the heliport (credit card required at the QR code). Contact the operator at least 72 hours before your flight to confirm your check-in and departure time. Flight routes may shift depending on weather conditions.

Is this one for you?You're flying in a shared cabin with up to five other passengers, so this works best if you want the route and the narration without the cost of a private charter.
